Series 917LX through Series 977 Systems
HP-FL and SCSI devices are supported on these systems. The first two
configuration steps are the same for both devices. A third step is not
required for single-unit HP-FL devices but is required for multi-unit
HP-FL devices. The third step is required for SCSI devices regardless of
whether or not the device is multi-unit.
HP-FL/SCSI Devices
The first two configuration levels consist of the device adapter address
and the device address.
To configure a device adapter with a path of 48, for example, enter:
APATH 48,ID=nnnnn
Where nnnnn is a valid device adapter identifier such as HP28616A or
HP28642A-SCSI.
HP-FL Devices.
To configure the device use the ADEV command and the device address. For
example, for a device address of 2, you would enter:
ADEV 48.2,ID=nnnnn
where nnnnn is a device identifier such as HP7937FL or HPC2474R.
If you are configuring an HP-FL device that is not a multi-unit device,
you are done.
SCSI Devices.
For a SCSI device you must use the word PSEUDO as the device identifier
as follows:
APATH 48.2,ID=PSEUDO
Unit Identifier
The third-level provides the unit address for multi-unit devices. It is
required for SCSI devices regardless of whether they are single or
multi-unit. It is required for HP-FL devices only when they are
configured as multi-unit devices.
To configure a unit address of 3, for example, on the disk drive
configured above, enter:
ADEV 48.2.3,ID=nnnnn
where nnnnn is a valid device identifier.
If the device is not a multi-unit device or if a multi-unit device is
being configured as a single unit, the device unit address of 0 is used
to complete the address. For example, to use the device configured above
as a single-unit device, enter the following:
ADEV 48.2.0,ID=nnnnn
where nnnnn is a valid device identifier.
